MINERAL WELLS -- Authorities were searching Monday for two convicted burglars who escaped from a minimum-security West Texas lockup. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice identified the inmates as Joshua Hall and Carlos Goff, both 21, who were missing during a 3:45 a.m. inmate count Monday. Both men were wearing regular street clothes, the department said in a news release. Hall was serving a 5-year sentence for a 2006 Jefferson County burglary conviction, and Goff was serving 5 years for 2004 burglary convictions out of Denton County . . . . Inmates are assigned there when they come within one year of parole eligibility or release, the TDJC said.
